Shirafu
amazarashi Lyrics

The lyrics of amazarashi's song Shirafu describe the point of view of someone living in a run-down apartment complex, narrating their struggles and disillusionment with their situation. The opening lines, "Jibun igai mina shine" tte no wa, "Mou shinitee" tte no to dougi da," mean "Everyone besides me can die" is synonymous with "I want to die." The lyrics are filled with anger, desperation, and a sense of hopelessness. The character is a musician who goes unrecognized and continues to work until he is worn out, but even after all his hard work, there is no change in his life. The character finds himself getting drunk at a bar with others who are in a similar situation, but he still can’t find a way out of his problems. Eventually, he accepts his situation and decides to leave to face his reality.

The song talks about the struggles of everyday life and the hopelessness of trying to achieve one’s dreams. It is a commentary on the current socio-economic climate of Japan, where young people are finding it increasingly difficult to succeed in life. The song may also express the frustration of artists who are trying to make a name for themselves in a competitive industry. The character’s feeling of "I want to die" may be interpreted as a cry for help or a plea for change in the society he is living in.
